so this is why we have romney talking. it's called putting jobs first, which is, of course, a play on the old clinton/gore putting people first. >> steve, we talked a week ago at this time the morning after the debate that it would only matter if it meant something beyond one night. it mattered what the romney campaign did with it. how has the romney campaign done now a full week later? >> well, they've had tremendous momentum off of that debate over the last week. i think that's one of the most effective ads that they've put out during the entirety of the campaign. one of the things you hear democrats now saying is you've got to go after romney. you've got to call him a liar. you've got to be tougher. you've got to demagogue them, you've got to hit them. and when you see mitt romney talk, that becomes all the more difficult to do. and i think romney's success has been compounded by a lot of mistakes that have been made on the democratic side over the course of the last week. so he's in the best week of his campaign. >> an

mitt romney talked about iran not getting a nuclear weapon capability. he's suggesting he would draw the quote unquote red line somewhere south of that. it does suggest that a slightly less tolerance for iran getting close to nuclear weapons. >> i have to admit it sounded like we weren't doing much, we meaning the united states right now, the obama administration. we've, i think, imposed extremely stiff sanctions that appear, according to informations coming out of iran, even from the value of the currency are working. >> that was an area i thought he was unfair. on the president's policy on sanctions are quite extraordinary and it's more than skeptics would've thought. i've written several books and edited them. we have gone farther with international sanctions than anybody thought possible. and they're kicking in. they're kicking in economically, and it's been falling like a rock. no pun intended. what we don't know, what impact that will have on the iranian nuclear program. >> what else can be done? i agree with mitt romney, i'm glad it's a center pie
